Early in the year, both Pedulla and Maddox showed great potential, but also looked lost quite often on both O and D. They have both made exceptional progress as the season progressed. As they progressed, they both started to get more playing time. And, we saw them make a big difference at the end of the Miami game. I think that coach Young deserves credit for this progress.

The next step will be interesting. Like many of you, I think that Pedulla and Maddox have recently surpassed the starter at their position. Based on how well Coach Young has handled things so far, I have a lot of confidence in how he'll handle things going forward.
